Consider me underwhelmed. Four and half seasons for that cheap ending that ripped off the Dexter ending.

I'll be forced to watch the final episodes next year at the insistence of my best friend, but I'm getting really sick of this program just plagiarizing elements of other tv shows and movies. I guess I should just be thankful there's just 8 episodes left.

How this gets a million award nominations while Dexter doesn't is beyond me. Travis Marshall was far more diabolical and frightening than Gus Fring could ever dream of being.

God those 5 final minutes I was just waiting for something big to go down and then everyone was happy and laughing. As soon as Hank went inside I knew he'd find something. Awesome cliffhanger, but fuck waiting a year for it to come back.

You're a funny guy.

It was a bit underwhelming considering previous finales, but then this wasn't a finale strictly speaking. AMC are definitely being assholes by putting in a year's gap. Gilligan went for a calmer cliffhanger and I thought it was more like a penultimate episode to the actual finale. But it gave a calm before the storm kind of feeling. Can't believe we have to wait a frigging year now.

I wish that Hank had figured it out in a different way. Don't mind Walt getting careless, but I felt a bit disappointed with how Hank finally got it. Loved Jesse getting his gun when Walt shows up at his house. Showed how far the relationship between the 2 has fallen now.

Overall, it was a good mini season with Dead Freight probably being the best episode for me. Jesse was kind of under used this year and I still believe this show could have easily used 2 full seasons to end instead of the 18 episodes it is getting. AMC takes the blame completely for that.

I can see Hank having a nice ricin sandwich at the start of next season.

Also, I think Jesse will find out about Brock, Mike, Jane etc. and kill Walt in the final episode. Walt will probably kill Skyler too, Junior will walk in and see his dead mum, get in his car and speed away, crashing into a pole or something.

Right, i've thought about it more, so here's my predictions for the final 8 episodes:

1. Walt puts ricin in one of Hank's home brew beers, but someone other than Hank drinks it, Marie most likely.
2. Walt's cancer is back, which is why he's "out".
3. Declan's crew won't let Walt quit, so they start murdering his family (like Gus was going to do). The scene from Episode One will be Walt getting ready to get his bloody revenge on them.
4. Jesse shoots Walt in the finale, after discovering what Walt did to Mike, Brock and Jane.
5. Hank survives with Holly.

Was anyone else expecting Walt to find Steve Gomez's name on the list of 9 guys?

No it's not actually. It's a sound business decision for a number of reasons.

Avoid the NFL season.
Avoid the World Series.
Avoid premieres of competition.
Avoid the NBA and NHL postseasons.
It gives a great amount of time for the nerds the show caters to spread the wod of mouth and watch the prior episodes millions of times, dicks getting hard each time in the process.

Comments like yours ate why these TV execs and creative writers could give zero fucks what a bunch of vocal Internet dorks have to say.
